How do I mount and level the Glencairn Whiskey Glass in the xTool F1 Ultra?

For the xTool F1 Ultra: 1) Ensure any necessary riser base or honeycomb removal is completed to allow clearance for 46mm diameter drinkware. 2) Insert the Glencairn Whiskey Glass into the rotary fixture using Step 1 (Internal Narrow Rim Grip). 3) Adjust the leveling tilt angle to exactly 8.75° so the top rim and bottom base remain coplanar with the xTool F1 Ultra's laser nozzle.

What diameter and steps-per-rotation do I enter in LightBurn for this pairing?

In LightBurn Tools > Rotary Setup: Set steps-per-rotation to 12800 (or check $101=100). If engraving a small front logo, enter 56.00mm into the cylinder diameter field. If wrapping a 360° graphic, use our downloadable SVG generator for true conical warp.

Will the Glencairn Whiskey Glass clear the laser gantry or housing on the xTool F1 Ultra?

The Glencairn Whiskey Glass has a maximum outer diameter of 66mm and height of 65mm. Verify that any handle or mug curve clears the laser nozzle during a 360° dry framing run before firing the laser.

How do I focus the xTool F1 Ultra on the Glencairn Whiskey Glass?

Focus the 160mm lens directly onto the apex (top tangent point) of the Glencairn Whiskey Glass after leveling it by 8.75°. Overlap the red & blue dual laser pointer dots on the apex point of the blank.
